Chapter 234 Status

Don't even think about it, James, you have to know that the budget I gave you was $100 million!You should be content. Look at Qiao and the others. Who has ever treated you like this?Even I haven't produced a movie with a budget of over $100 million.

Adrian stood against the wall with a cup in his arms, teasingly saying to James Cameron, who was bearded again.

Hey, it's just 10 million, and I'm just trying to make it better.Cameron was ruthless to scream.

Don't even think about it, James, unless you pay for it yourself, what do you think, Trent?Adrian said, looking at Sean Waters, general manager of Fox, next to him.

I totally agree.Waters laughed and said that as the general manager of Fox, he supervised the production of "The True Lies" throughout the process. He knew Cameron's style very well.

OK, James, Ed is right, few directors can get a $100 million budget like you to squander.

Seeing that Cameron was still trying to speak, Jonathan Demi, who was beside him, spoke immediately, but his tone was also ridiculous.

OK, James, stop thinking about it.Adrian followed up with the conversation, not giving Cameron a chance to speak, and let's talk about it after the film was finished with peace of mind.

Cameron finally shrugged with a smile, and then suddenly asked when he thought of something: Do you remember what we said that day, Ed?When he came out of the bar, Sean was there that day, but he left early.

Of course I remember, I never forget my words.Adrian smiled, if this movie can achieve the expected goal, then I will invest 200 million to make your next movie!

real?Cameron's eyes suddenly lit up, and his tone also showed excitement. So how many box offices have achieved your expected goals?

Well, let’s wait until the movie is released.

Adrian spread his hands and the people around him laughed. In their opinion, Adrian was just kidding.

A disappointed look flashed across Cameron's face, but after touching Adrian's meaningful eyes, he seemed to understand something again, and then he laughed with everyone.

Speaking of which, I suddenly envied Arnold and the others. Not everyone can play the leading role in such a big investment.Denzel Washington said in a half-joking tone right away.

Who knows, no one can predict what will happen in the future.Tom Hanks smiled and patted his shoulder.

I can predict it.

Adrian immediately interrogated, and then said seriously after everyone's eyes were all over: However, I can only expect recent events, such as the prospect of "Philadelphia Story".

This immediately caused another burst of laughter, and then Todd Browning, a global executive standing on the other side, asked: So what is the prospect of "Philadelphia Story"?

I believe that anyone who has watched the preview will think it is good, and Joe may be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director again.Adrian thought about it and said in an extremely serious taste.

Is this a prophecy?Should it be regarded as a prophecy of the miracle director?

Ha, it seems that congratulations to Qiao in advance, and he may get nominated after a year.

Oh, please, this is just Ed's prediction. Do you all think this is true?

Everyone started to discuss it, and then the topic went further and further.

These are the guests at the party, executives of several well-connected film companies, as well as several well-known directors and actors, and even Spielberg and Lux ​​have been here, although they only stayed for 30 or 40 minutes and left, not to mention the second- and third-tier directors, actors, producers, agents, etc.

In addition, Frank West, the head of NBC's Los Angeles branch, also attended. After all, Friends are on their TV network, and some other TV networks have tried every means, such as some guests always bring a few friends to the party, including Adrian's target Turner Broadcasting Corporation.

These well-informed guys know that since Bothworth Pictures has produced such a popular TV series, it will definitely continue to develop. In addition, Adrian, the miracle director or miracle screenwriter, gave him a new title after "Friends" hit. However, given that he is still mainly making movies, most of the screenwriters only provide ideas and let other screenwriters complete it, so this title only exists in private.

In short, with such a person, the TV series produced will be guaranteed in some ways, and these TV networks naturally hope to get a piece of the pie. After all, the competition in this area is also very large.

It can be seen that although Adrian is still a new Hollywood pride in terms of status and identity, he is much higher than the title of new director or producer.

After all, he is also the chairman of AC Media. Although AC Media is not as good as those large group companies, there is almost no such thing as a director in a media company. This is naturally not comparable to those ordinary new directors or producers.

Remember what you promised me, Tom, there will be a movie next year I hope you can be the leading actor.Adrian took the time to say this to Hanks in front of everyone.

No problem, I will free up the schedule for you.The other party agreed immediately without any hesitation.

It seems that the workaholic is about to start again.Then someone joked like this and then pulled out a bunch of topics.

This is also a manifestation of power and status. If someone else invited Hanks like this, he would never have answered so readily.

Of course, this has something to do with Hanks not reaching its peak, but so is Adrian, otherwise he would use I need rather than I hope.

However, such status, identity and power are also relative. Although he is considered a big shot in front of these people, he is still a newcomer in front of some people. A few days ago, at the Godfather's cocktail party, the old man Lei Shidong said that he and Claude were two good young people.

Although slightly unhappy, Adrian quickly left behind, and Lei Shidong was of course qualified to say that.

In fact, most of the celebrities who attended the Godfather's Reception can be said to them, and they are indeed young people.

But this does not mean that young people are very young. Claude quickly put on a small thunderstone.

I didn't comment on his proposal. It was a joke. I wanted to get Paramount's shares from me so simply.

After chatting with Redstone for a few separate words, Claude said to Adrian, although we all agreed to turn to Viacom, it is definitely not now. Let's wait until they fight to get the result.

Adrian could only laugh at this.

Hey Ed, so you're here.A hand suddenly slapped Adrian on the shoulder.

Dan?Adrian turned his head and then deliberately showed a relief. Who did I think it was?

What's wrong?Dennis asked strangely.

No, nothing, are you having fun?

Adrian shook his head and opened the topic. He chatted with Cameron and the others for a long time, and dealt with the executives of various TV networks who came to meet him for a while. He was about to stay in this quiet corner for a few minutes, and then found Julia and left together, but he didn't expect Dennis to come over again.

Oh, of course, very happy, so are they.

Dennis said as he moved out of his body, six starring actors including Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Matthew Perry, and several screenwriters and several directors appeared in front of him.

Hi Ed, long time no see, you look a lot more handsome.Compared to the other five actors, Jennifer is more familiar with Adrian, so he greets him with a smile.

Hi Jane, so are you, more beautiful than before.Adrian smiled and hugged her, and then five more hugged her in turn: Gentlemen, ladies, congratulations.

Thank you for this, Ed.

That's right, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have had the chance to star in such an interesting TV series.

Matthew and others started talking, their words full of gratitude and respect, which was particularly obvious to David Xiumon.

After all, when Adrian asked them to play, he almost wanted to refuse. If Adrian hadn't given up, he wouldn't have appeared here today. Maybe he would have regretted it desperately at home.

Adrian chatted with them with a smile, accepting their gratitude calmly. To be honest, for a few minutes he really wanted to know if they would feel resentful if they found out that their role was completely limited to "Friends" ten years later, no matter how they transformed, they would be futile.

By the way, Ed, have you considered a guest role in Friends?

After chatting for a few minutes, a screenwriter suddenly said to Adrian, and suddenly everyone's eyes were turned to him.

Do you have any good opinions, Braga?Adrian asked quietly.

The biggest highlight of "Friends" is not only the interesting language and humor that is close to life, but also the invitation of popular stars to make guest appearances.

They were all the original cast, so this highlight will certainly not be ignored, but they didn't expect that they would actually put their ideas on him.

Have an idea.The male screenwriter, who is called Braga, said with a smile that he is about twenty-seven or eight years old, very young, and no wonder he is so bold.

Matt plays Joey, a soap opera actor, just designed a plot for him to audition for the movie.

Braga said, you can play the director or just play yourself. Think about it, Joey is going to participate in the casting of Director Miracle.

"Friends" has now filmed 11 episodes, and at least 13 episodes to be filmed. They are planning to start this cameo. It's a good plan.

How about it, Ed, you just need to perform in your true colors.

Seeing that he was still pondering, Braga continued to persuade, "You know, Dan is behind you, and as soon as Jane spoke, he agreed to make a guest appearance.

Dan has agreed?Adrian looked at Dennis, who nodded to him.

interesting.Adrian narrowed his eyes.Speaking of which, Dan has always been very close to Jane at the party tonight, and Nori hasn't seen him by his side several times... It's really interesting.
